Power converter

Gears © christian42 - Fotolia Power represents the quantity of energy produced and consumed during laps of time (for example for a motor or a boiler).
A Watt is a unit derived from the metric system (international unit system) representing energy transferred at one joule per second.
This converter helps you to simultaneously convert power from several common units like watt (W), voltampere (VA), horsepower (din or in imperial system).
A volt-ampere (VA) is the unit used for the apparent power in an electrical circuit, equal to the product of the root-mean-square (RMS) voltage and RMS current.[1] In direct current (DC) circuits, this product is equal to the real power (active power) [2] in watts. Volt-amperes are useful only in the context of alternating current (AC) circuits (sinusoidal voltages and currents of the same frequency).
Enter the power quantity in the second column of the following array and conversion will be performed automatically in all other units.

watt W
kilowatt kW

mechanical horsepower hp
electric horsepower hp (electric)
metric horsepower hp (metric)
imperial horsepower hp (UK)
hydraulic horsepowerhp (water)
boiler horsepower hp (boiler)

Note

Fiscal power of a car in France or Italy now depends also on its carbon dioxyde emission so it cannot be compared with other power units. So it is not in this array.
